Miller’s game-winner scored Nick Chase and Zach Clark for Prairie (4-7-1). Harrison Reid hit a three-run double with two out for the Cardinals, and scored on a passed ball to pull Prairie within a run.

Reid finished 3 for 5 with three runs and the three RBIs. Chase hit a two-run triple in the fifth for the Cardinals, who trailed 9-1 after four innings. Chase, Clark, Miller, Spencer Zeller and Tanner McCliment-Call each had two hits.
